City in Virginia cracking down on swearing

Now in the times I've actually been in danger and swore in reaction without thinking (a car recently ran a red light while I was crossing a busy road and almost tagged me) my unconscious go-to statement was revealed to be "Jesus f***ing Christ!" despite the fact that I don't normally swear nor do I believe Jesus was a divine being.  Another time I dropped the f-bomb (and I do so when I'm around my friends and it fits the situation, honestly) without thinking involves people aggressively encroaching upon me wherein I consistently and without thinking yell "Get your f***-ing hands off me."  SO, I use it, but when I have the foresight to choose what I say, I tend not to.

I don't intentionally cuss in front of my family or at my current job like I did when I was in the Ranger Regiment. There is a time and a place. Someone asked why do you swear and I answered the question. That does not mean every other word out of my mouth is a curse word.  

People who can't use your or you're in a sentence correctly have no business criticizing the language skills of others.
